If you have a choice, Seattle. Also, it depends on what you are looking for, Seattle has a really good writing program and has only UW as its superior in state. In Florida, UF, FSU and UM are all "better" than FIU.

Living wise, Seattle is a great environment to live in. Despite the rain and clouds, it has a great social scene (as FIU is I'm assuming). As mentioned earlier, you should visit these places if they are your absolute top choices

Thanks, I appreciate the words of wisdom and encouragement! Failure is a strong word... I am exaggerating a little bit there, but yes, I try not to be married to the US News Rankings. I know my school of choice will probably be a "regional" school and I am content with that, and in no way am I saying getting below a 155 is lawschool-death, but it sure does it make a bit more difficult.

Coming this November, I will be sending many applications to "regional" schools, wish me luck!

I basically post poned the test to this October, I'm studying foreals now and am getting about 155 avg, I'll post when I take it! I figure I can't get into a halfway competent school without at least a 155-160, so anything below 155 is failure.

That is a dec LSAT score, and a not-so-bad GPA, and considering you are a Hispanic female, probably will be considered for URM consideration? Not sure what school you should apply since that is entirely your choice, but just saying you have quite a few things that could work in your favor.

Hello all! First post, but i've been a reading a lot of the posts similar to this. However, I would like to get the input of everyone to see if I stand a chance during admissions...

First, I have a undergrad in criminal justice with a 3.34 cum, and am predicting that I will get 150 on my LSAT (I take it in a couple weeks and am pretty confident it will be around 150). What are my chances? I don't mind going to a tier 2, 3, or 4 but I don't want to go to a bottom 50 law school if I can help it. I've been studying off and on for the LSAT for about a year and a half, and I figure 150 is going to be as good as the score gets (maybe a little higher).

I don't have any experience except 1 internship during my senior year, and I haven't been doing much in an academic sense since graduation. I know I will be most likely going to a regional school, and I'm fine with that. Is the 150 LSAT score just too low? I've looked at my chances on the LSAC gpa/LSAT calc, and it seems I should be able to get into some, but is that really worth it? Should I retake the LSAT in October if I score a 150? I'll be applying to quite a few law schools to improve my chances, but want to avoid applying to schools that are in the middle of nowhere (as I would probably working in the state I go to law school). Other than that, my expectations aren't very high, but plan to go 100% when I do show up at law school. (I feel that LSAT isn't a fair judgment of what I will bring to law school).

So, I have a 3.34 GPA, 150 LSAT, minimal experience and am Asian-American. I will have taken about a 2 year break after graduation (I'm 24 years old), and plan to take the LSAT in June and potentially October if I bomb it in June. What are my law school chances? What schools should I apply? Thanks for anyone's input, and sorry if this sounds like panicked ranting right before the LSAT (because it kinda is )
